Nerve damage

I gave birth about 7 and a half months ago while having IIH flare ups during my pregnancy. Mine is triggered by hormones so I didn’t expect it postpartum. I used diamox to control my flare ups normally but it didn’t help so I went to the ER to do a lumbar puncture to speed up the process. The neurologist was a complete mess. He hits my spinous process and then I quickly noticed he hit a nerve on the right. I felt it shoot all the way on my right leg down to my foot. I normally hold in my pain but I had to shout. He had no x-rays to help find the spot to drain the CSF which led to the entire process taking a half hour before he got the needle in the right spot. The entire time it was the most painful experience I’ve ever had. Constantly hitting that nerve with me trying to guide him. Then he noticed blood in my tubes for the CSF. It was back in October when I had this lumbar puncture. I’m still on disability leave from work and I still have back pain with leg numbness and tingling. He’s been trying to see different MRIs to see if he could figure out what’s causing this pain. I think it’s obvious that it’s nerve damage because I never had any of these symptoms prior to the LP. For anyone who has had similar experiences does it get better? I’ve had multiple lumber punctures before without any issues so this was a first. I’m just worried I’ll eventually wake up and not be able to walk because even a month of physical therapy hasn’t changed anything.
